Ingredients
- 1 loaf frozen sweet bread dough or frozen bread dough thawed
- 2 tbsp margarine or butter softened
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 cups apples peeled finely chopped
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp margarine or butter
- ¼ cup Almonds slivered (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven 350°
- Divide bread dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half into an 8-inch square. (For easier rolling, let dough rest a few minutes.) Spread each square with 1 tbsp softened margarine or butter. For filling, combine brown sugar, the 1 tbsp flour, and the cinnamon. Add apples; toss to coat.
- Spoon half of the filling down the center of each square. Cutting from the right edge toward the filling, make 2-1/2-inch-long cuts in dough at 1-inch intervals. Repeat from the left edge. Fold strips alternately over filling; fold under ends.
- Place loaves on a greased 15 X 10 X 1-inch baking pan. Brush with milk. Combine the 2 tablespoons flour and the sugar. Cut in the 1 tbsp margarine till mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle half of the crumb mixture over each loaf. Top with almonds, if desired. Cover and let loaves rise till nearly double (45 to 60 minutes).
- Bake in a 350° oven 30 minutes or till golden. Serve warm.
